RHAON Software

RHAON (Download Latest Program Software)

Released DSP Firmware files.
• CF Series
DSP Firmware files contain the “loudspeaker specific” DSP settings for individual Renkus-Heinz loudspeakers: EQ, Crossover (if applicable), protection settings, meter calibration, etc. These files are loaded into each RHAON loudspeaker’s amplifier at the factory.

Since these files may be updated from time to time to either improve overall performance or to add new RHAON features, we recommend occasionally checking these files to make sure you are using the latest versions in your RHAON program and in the loudspeaker amplifiers. Typically these files are installed under C:\Program Files\Renkus-Heinz\RHAON\DSP_Firmware.

DSP Firmware files are also needed to reprogram loudspeaker amplifiers, if you want to move an amplifier from one loudspeaker model to another.

• ST Series

Released Microcontroller Firmware files.
• PF1-200R
Microcontroller Firmware files contain the programming for the microprocessor that runs in conjunction with the CobraNet DSP to operate RHAON empowered loudspeaker amplifiers.

Since these files may be updated from time to time either to improve overall performance or to add new RHAON features, we recommend occasionally checking these files to make sure you are using the latest versions in your RHAON program and in your RHAON empowered loudspeaker amplifiers. Typically these files are installed under C:\Program Files\Renkus-Heinz\RHAON\MicroC_Firmware.

RHAON EMPOWERS SYSTEM DESIGNERS - To put an entire loudspeaker system, whether portable or permanently installed, on a network. With the widest selection of powered loudspeakers, RHAON gives you the freedom to choose the right output device for any location main clusters to support areas, fill coverage, balconies and lobbies. Drag and drop signal routing makes network configuration intuitive. And with RHAON, you'll be able to fine tune every single loudspeaker on the network from anywhere on the network control room, wireless tablet PC, anywhere there's a Cat 5 or WiFi link.

RHAON EMPOWERS SYSTEM INSTALLERS - To save on materials and labor while providing the most powerful loudspeaker specific DSP processing aimed at delivering the best in fidelity and reliability. By eliminating bulky conduit and heavy gauge wire pulls installation costs are dramatically reduced. On board DSP ensures best possible results when it comes to system tuning and overall protection and stability. All you need is AC power and standard Cat5 cabling/hardware to deliver up to 64 channels of 24-bit 48kHz digital audio plus real time monitoring and control functions. No more ground loops. No more crossed signals, polarity reversals, or other wiring errors. System verification and performance optimization can all be performed from a single computer at a single location.

RHAON EMPOWERS SYSTEM OPERATORS - By putting the loudspeaker on the network. With RHAON, system operators can monitor and control every loudspeaker in the system - in the entire building, if desired. With features like Scene Store & Recall, Automatic Fault Notification and Error Logging, RHAON makes sure that the entire system is up and running whenever it's needed. Unique life safety features include redundant analog inputs with automatic override of the digitally distributed signal.




1. - STANDARD ETHERNET NETWORKING

RHAON network uses the proven CobraNet standard for digital audio distribution. The RHAON Input Module incorporates the latest enhancements to CobraNet technology: up to 64 channels of 24 bit PCM digital audio, at sampling rates up to 96 kHz, defined and uniform latency as low as 1.33 ms. All over a standard Ethernet LAN using 100Mb switches and routers, Cat 5 copper or fiber optic cable. With over 40 manufacturers licensing CobraNet, RHAON gives you the widest possible choice of source devices, DSP engines, and other components. It's your network - design and build it your way with RHAON.



SIMPLE, COST-EFFECTIVE INTEGRATION WITH EXISTING AUDIO SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURES


"The building committee asked us to draw two systems - one using self-powered Renkus Heinz loudspeakers with CobraNet, the other with separate amplification. The electricians bid both: the networked system came back 22% lower. The church was really pleased that we could use existing conduit instead of spending money on infrastructure".

Tom Johnson Sr., President, Spectrum Design Group.

"Renkus-Heinz powered speakers with onboard processing and CobraNet bought Henderson Hills Community Church $50,000 of video equipment a production switcher and time-base correctors, plus other equipment that was not originally budgeted. We've had people come in unsolicited and tell us 'This is the best sound in Oklahoma".

Ken Moore, President, AVL Systems Design.




2. - USER ACCESSIBLE DSP IN EVERY LOUDSPEAKER

RHAON empowers integrators to deliver consistent, sonically optimized systems by providing two unique stages of digital signal processing.

Level 1 includes crossovers, parametric equalization, driver alignment and an advanced overdrive protection scheme. Level 1 is programmed by Renkus-Heinz engineering at the Foothill Ranch, CA factory. We use advanced tools such as EASERA pro to make sure every parameter is perfectly "dialed in" before the loudspeaker is ready to ship.

Level 2 is under your control via the RHAON GUI. Level 2 includes 8 bands of parametric EQ, Shelving filters, delay and much more. Imagine being able to fine tune every loudspeaker in your system for it's application or location without complex channel assignments and without burdening your console or DSP engine. System installer can lock down level 2 loudspeaker specific processing with password protection so that their commissioning setups and tunings remain tamper free.




LOUDSPEAKER-CENTRIC SIGNAL PROCESSING

Gives the integrator the power to optimize the system with DSP in every RHAON Empowered Loudspeaker.

Multiband Parametric Equalizer allows integrator to fully optimize each networked loudspeaker for its particular application and location.



I/O SET UP is quick and easy. Drag and drop
execution allows you to easily assign loudspeakers to CobraNet output devices up stream. RHAON systems provide both analogue and digital inputs standard.

RHAON's unique auto override feature is designed specifically for life safety applications and applications requiring fail safe switching.




3. - REMOTE CONTROL & SUPERVISION

This is the Operations aspect of your RHAON based system. RHAON empowers you to keep your finger on the pulse of your loudspeaker system. By monitoring every amp channel and loudspeaker on the network long term stability and ease of troubleshooting are easily achieved. RHAON makes it easy to define groups and zones, control overall levels and mutes, and store setups. The RHAON operator can reconfigure the sound system for different purposes in seconds.

RHAON's monitoring functions are equally comprehensive, with Fault Logging and Operator Alerts that give you the time to solve minor problems before they turn into major issues. RHAON includes features that are specifically engineered for life-safety applications. The RHAON Input Module includes both analog and digital inputs - an industry first. Redundant signal paths are there if you need them. So is the ability to have the analog input automatically override the digitally distributed program:perfect for mission-critical applications like emergency paging and crowd control.


GLOBAL CONTROL, MONITORING & ERROR REPORTING AT A GLANCE


Unique GUI provides control & monitoring over all critical aspects of system's operations & stability.

RHAON Command Center GUI allows users to easily manage their loudspeaker network by providing the ability to label, group, mute and either independently or globally control output levels. Changing system configurations to meet varying applications is easy and quick. Remote monitoring and error reporting allow the integrator to be notified immediately when the system requires maintenance, significantly reducing costs associated with trouble shooting and downtime.
